• Abstract: 3D instance segmentation remains a challenging problem in computer vision. Particle tracking at colliders like the LHC can be conceptualized as an instance segmentation task: beginning from a point cloud of hits in a particle detector, an algorithm must identify which hits belong to individual particle trajectories and extract track properties. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown promising performance on standard instance segmentation tasks. In this work we demonstrate the applicability of instance segmentation GNN architectures to particle tracking; moreover, we re-imagine the traditional Cartesian space approach to track-finding and instead work in a conformal geometry that allows the GNN to identify tracks and extract parameters in a single shot.

  Recent work has demonstrated that graph neural networks (GNNs) can match the performance of traditional algorithms for charged particle tracking. We consider an alternative based on object condensation (OC), a multi-objective learning framework designed to cluster points (hits) belonging to an arbitrary number of objects (tracks) and regress the properties of each object.

  We introduce a novel variant of GNN for particle tracking called Hierarchical Graph Neural Network (HGNN) The architecture creates a set of higher-level representations which correspond to tracks and assigns spacepoints to these tracks, allowing disconnected spacepoints to be assigned to the same track, as well as multiple tracks to share the same spacepoint. We show that, compared with previous ML-based tracking algorithms, the HGNN has better tracking efficiency performance, better robustness against inefficient input graphs, and better convergence compared with traditional GNNs.

  We present Minkowski Tracker, a sparse-temporal R-CNN that jointly solves object detection and tracking problems. Inspired by region-based CNN (R-CNN), we propose to track motion as a second stage of the object detector R-CNN. We show in large-scale experiments that the overall performance gain of our method is due to four factors.

  VQ-GNN is a universal framework to scale up any convolution-based GNNs using Vector Quantization (VQ) without compromising the performance. Our framework avoids the "neighbor explosion" problem of GNNs using quantized representations combined with a low-rank version of the graph convolution matrix.

• Charged particle tracking via edge-classifying interaction networks [0.0]
  In this work, we adapt the physics-motivated interaction network (IN) GNN to the problem of charged-particle tracking in the high-pileup conditions expected at the HL-LHC. We demonstrate the IN's excellent edge-classification accuracy and tracking efficiency through a suite of measurements at each stage of GNN-based tracking. The proposed IN architecture is substantially smaller than previously studied GNN tracking architectures, a reduction in size critical for enabling GNN-based tracking in constrained computing environments.

In particular, we first extract the $h$-hop enclosing subgraph centered on the target edge and propose the node labeling function to identify the role of each node in the subgraph. Based on the extracted features, we utilize Gated recurrent units (GRUs) to capture the temporal information for anomaly detection.
